Match the adaptations to the correct biome. Trees have soft, green needles for leaves. Plants have structures that conserve water. Animals have the ability to burrow to escape the heat. Animals migrate to warmer regions during winter. Biomes are determined by climate zones.

●Trees have soft, green needles for leaves --- Boreal forest (taiga)

Boreal forest (taiga)

It is the largest terrestial biome. Loacted between 50 and 60 degrees north latitudes, seasons are split into short, damp, and mildly warm summers and long, cold, and dry winters.

It's characterised by the presence of low temperatures, thin, nutrient-poor, and acidic soils.

Flora is mainly made up of cold-adapted evergreen conifers that as needle-like leaves (soft, green needles for leaves)e.g. pine, fir, and spruce.

Fauna constitutes of woodpeckers, hawks, moose, bear, weasel, lynx, fox, wolf, deer, hares, chipmunks, shrews, and bats.

●Plants have structures that conserve water --- Desert Biome Facts

Perennial plants in deserts are well attributed to its adaptations that conserve water: with the aid of its deep roots, lowered levels of foliage, and water-conserving stems

●Animals have the ability to burrow to escape the heat --- Desert Biome

Desert Biome

The desert biome results from low amount of rainfall on it per year. There are four categories of desert in this biome - hot and dry, semiarid, coastal, and cold.

The vegetation are moderate to short trees to accommodate small animals, rodents, and reptiles. These animals find shelter away from the harsh Sun and its heat by staying under small scrubs or staying in burrows. Most desert animals are nocturnal.

●Animals migrate to warmer regions during winter --- Boreal forest (taiga)

Boreal forest (taiga)

It possess a short growing season, coupled by harsh climates which requires the plants and animals in the zone to have special features to survive.

Some Animal adapts to this region by using thick coats of fur or insulating feathers for insulation against the cold during the long winter, some undergo hibernation. Other animals migrate to warmer areas during the chilly winters period. While some insects have a form of adaptations during the winter e.g. mosquitoes(Aedes nigripes) uses a chemical substance to make it antifreeze, reducing the freezing level in its bodily fluids

Biomes are determined by climate zones as climate determines the kinds of plants and animals that lives in a particular biome.

d. in sexual reproduction, offspring have more chromosomes than

either parent.

asexual reproduction results in offspring which are genetically the same as the parent organism (not counting a rare mutation). sexual reproduction produces a random mixture of the genetics derived from both parents
